Joy Slaughter - Birth & Postpartum Doula

About Joy

Birth is a beautiful, natural process, but it often seems overwhelming and scary for new parents. I strive to provide information about pregnancy, birth, lactation, newborn care, and the post-partum recovery so that you can determine your personal wishes for your birth journey. As you develop your preferences, I'll assist in the formation of a birth plan that we will use to advocate for your wishes. During birth, I offer emotional and physical support, help with non-pharmacological pain management, act as a birth coach, and advocate for your values in medical situations. With my extensive background in healthcare, I am able to interpret situations and jargon, so that you can understand factors involved and make truly informed decisions for your best birth experience . I have experience in home- and hospital-based birth environments , vaginal and cesarean, low- and high-risk situations. I'm ready to support YOU and your unique wishes as you navigate your childbearing year.
